Chapter 143 Successful Revolution
Looking at Zhu Chengwu who was knocked into the air, spitting blood, and the circular air shield around him disappeared.
The colourless monk's eyes showed a look of relaxation for the first time since his fight with Zhu Chengwu.
Zhu Chengwu's power is even greater than Wu Se, Wu Xiang, Wu Wo's expectations.
But in the end, it was still not worse than the worst plan of the three great monks!
The Mother Goddess of the Earth's Core, the Innate Qi... one thing after another, and now they have finally been conquered.
Fight against such a martial arts legend!
For the first time, the Colorless Monk felt the same powerlessness that the Shaolin ancestors had felt hundreds of years ago when facing the Taoist Sanfeng.
You have to know that Taoist Sanfeng at that time was much more powerful than Zhu Chengwu now!
At the same time, the colorless monk also understood more deeply the determination of the royal Zhu family when they launched an attack to suppress the Demon Sect decades ago.
Shaolin and Wudang were sitting back and watching the fight between two tigers!
After all, the Ming Dynasty court and the Zhu royal family were at their peak at that time. As long as the Ming Dynasty court and the Zhu royal family were willing to pay the price, they had the power to resolve the threat of Dugu Sheng and the Demon Cult on their own.
Moreover, weakening the power of the Ming Dynasty court and the royal Zhu family is welcome to both Shaolin and Wudang.
Although Wudang is the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, Shaolin also has a good relationship with the imperial court!
But the relationship between the imperial court and the underworld is ultimately one of rise and fall.
As the power and influence of the royal Zhu family decreases, the martial arts world represented by Wudang and Shaolin will have greater say.
Although many situations can be guessed and discussed, many things ultimately need to be experienced personally to understand the difficulty of making up one's mind and the difficulty of taking action.
Decades ago it was the royal Zhu family, and now it is Shaolin Temple’s turn!
Zhu Chengwu, who is about to rise this time, is not only from the Zhu family, but Zhao Yuguang, the leader of his mother's family, the Zhao family, is also a close friend of Mu Taoist of Mingyue Peak of Wudang!
Once everyone is calm and still, even if those in the Zhu family and Wudang who have grudges against Zhu Chengwu are killed by Zhu Chengwu, the inheritance of the Zhu family and Wudang can still be preserved because there are always people in the Zhu family and Wudang who have a good relationship with Zhu Chengwu.
However, Shaolin Temple is different!
Shaolin has no connection with Zhu Chengwu.
Without intersection, there will naturally be no hatred, which is certainly a good thing!
But the lack of intersection also means that no one has a personal relationship with Zhu Chengwu, which is not a good thing.
Once there are differences in positions and conflicts of interest, the Shaolin Temple, which cannot arouse Zhu Chengwu's thoughts or evoke certain memories of Zhu Chengwu, will not make Zhu Chengwu show mercy.
Haven't you seen that during the period of Taoist Sanfeng, apart from the Wudang Sect, the best-developed sects in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty were the Shaolin Temple where his mentor Master Jueyuan came from, the Ming Cult controlled by his disciple, and the Emei Sect founded by his Bai Yueguang.
Among them, Shaolin Temple once hunted down Taoist Sanfeng, and Bai Yueguang never stayed with Taoist Sanfeng until her death...
Does Taoist Sanfeng have any hatred towards Shaolin Temple and any resentment towards Bai Yueguang?
No one knows this!
The world only knows that they have a close relationship with Taoist Sanfeng, and that they were not eliminated by Taoist Sanfeng's Jiazi Demon-Slaying Cultivation!
During the Jiazi period when Taoist Sanfeng dominated the martial arts world and fought against demons, how many people who made Taoist Sanfeng unhappy but could not arouse any thoughts in him were conveniently killed by Taoist Sanfeng?
Jiazi destroys the devil!
What is "devil"?
Taoist Sanfeng said that you are a demon, so you are a demon?
Living in this world, who can say that he has never done anything wrong in his life?
I'm afraid that 99 percent of people wouldn't dare to say that!
Once Taoist Sanfeng recognizes "you" as a "devil", at that time, many people will produce evidence to prove that "you" are a "devil".
And it is real, solid evidence!
Once Taoist Sanfeng recognizes that "you" are not a "demon", then all the legends are rumors and slander!
If Zhu Chengwu becomes the next "Taoist Sanfeng", at most some people of the Zhu family and Wudang will die and their vitality will be seriously damaged, but the inheritance will most likely be preserved.
The Shaolin Temple has no grudges against Zhu Chengwu, but the probability of being targeted by Zhu Chengwu is much lower than that of the Zhu family and Wudang.
But once they offended Zhu Chengwu, or Zhu Chengwu decided to take action against Shaolin Temple on a whim, the probability of Shaolin Temple retaining its inheritance would be much lower than that of Zhu and Wudang.
Therefore, although there was no grudge between them and Zhu Chengwu, when both Zhu and Wudang were stable, Shaolin Temple had to step in first to "pull out the weeds"!
After contacting Wudang Qingfeng Taoist and Zhu's Dazongzhengyuan many times and not getting a clear response to act together, the three great monks Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo actually understood the ideas of Zhu and Wudang.
Shaolin Temple has developed so well in recent decades!
The four great masters!
This has already exceeded the Zhu family's situation before the siege of Dugu Sheng.
After all, there were only three true masters in the Zhu family before!
The Zhu family and Wudang are probably waiting for Shaolin Temple to attack Zhu Chengwu, just like Wudang and Shaolin waited for the Zhu family to attack the Demon Sect decades ago.
Thinking deeper, some people in the Zhu family and Wudang might think that Zhu Chengwu's appearance was just right to weaken the strength of his Shaolin Temple.
As for whether Shaolin Temple can successfully surround and kill Zhu Chengwu.
As long as Shaolin Temple wants to and is willing to pay the price, Zhu and Wudang believe that Shaolin Temple can still succeed.
Just like decades ago, Wudang and Shaolin were certain that as long as the Zhu family was willing to pay the price, they would be able to successfully surround and kill Dugu Sheng and wipe out the evil sect.
As the top forces of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, the Zhu family, Wudang, and Shaolin all have a general understanding of each other's strength and background.
Zhu Chengwu had not yet achieved the status of a grandmaster, and even if he did now, he would only be a new grandmaster.
As long as Shaolin Temple is willing to pay the price, it will be able to successfully surround and kill Zhu Chengwu, just like the Zhu family successfully surrounded and killed Dugu Sheng decades ago.
You have to know that the further you advance in martial arts, the harder it is to improve.
The improvement mentioned here is not only the improvement of martial arts realm, but also the improvement of martial arts, that is, combat effectiveness.
After all, some trump cards that are enough to fight across borders at a low level will only become conventional means at a high level.
And there is a limit to martial arts!
If Zhu and Wudang don’t help to “pull out the weeds,” Shaolin will have no choice but to grit its teeth and fight on its own.
After all, decades ago, Zhu had already fought alone against Wudang and Shaolin under their schemes.
Times are tough and people’s hearts are no longer the same!
Fortunately, Zhu Chengwu, the contemporary martial arts legend, is neither the Taoist Sanfeng nor the grandmaster Dugu Sheng. Now everything is finally coming to an end!
The Colorless Monk and the Formless Monk flew in different directions respectively. When they saw Zhu Chengwu's protection disappear in mid-air and blood still oozing from his mouth, there was a flash of relief in their eyes.
The weeds were removed and the cost was within an acceptable range.
Okay!
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong!"
The Wuxin Divine Monk did not disappoint his two senior brothers, the Wuse Divine Monk and the Wuxiang Divine Monk, nor did he let down the opportunities created by the Wuse Divine Monk and the Wuxiang Divine Monk by using forbidden techniques one after another.
It turned out that when Zhu Chengwu was fighting with the Colorless Divine Monk and the Formless Divine Monk, the Selfless Divine Monk had approached them at some point and was just when Zhu Chengwu was being knocked away.
The selfless monk took a step and appeared behind Zhu Chengwu. He also used the forbidden Shaolin technique to increase his power and at the same time used the most powerful ninth move of the Tathagata Palm - Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Buddha.
The reason why I didn't use forbidden techniques at the beginning was to use these most powerful moves.
It was because Zhu Chengwu was in good condition at that time and had no good opportunities. With Zhu Chengwu's light skills, he could easily dodge the "ultimate move" of the selfless monk.
Only at such an opportunity can the selfless monk use his "ultimate move" to decide the outcome of life or death in one fell swoop.
"Lotus Fire God, Golden Crow Sun Shining!"
Unfortunately, the Colorless Monk and the Formless Monk were happy too early.
Zhu Chengwu noticed the joy that appeared in their eyes too early.
Moreover, the attack of the selfless monk is strong, but in other aspects, it is really unremarkable.
Hiding aura, deceiving spiritual perception, body movement speed...
These weaknesses were enough to allow Zhu Chengwu to react before he could launch his sneak attack.
Following Zhu Chengwu's loud shout, strange phenomena reappeared around Zhu Chengwu!
This time it was not the real image of a female deity like the Earth Mother Goddess, but a real image of a round sphere of fire like the sun.
The actual image of the round sphere of fire appeared at the back of Zhu Chengwu's head.
As Zhu Chengwu struggled to move his body in mid-air, the round flaming sphere that suddenly appeared also moved, just in time to block the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage" shot by the monk Wuwo.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Buddha" is worthy of its name.
As the selfless monk slapped out with his palm, a real image of the Tathagata Buddha nearly ten feet tall suddenly appeared behind him, and it moved in unison with the selfless monk and also slapped out with his palm.
Just like slapping a fly, Buddha's big hand slapped towards Zhu Chengwu.
In addition to the huge real shadow of the Buddha behind the monk Wuwo, there were thousands of small Buddha phantoms several inches and feet in size appearing around it, and together with the palm of the huge real shadow of the Buddha behind the monk Wuwo, they rushed towards Zhu Chengwu.
Countless small Buddha shadows restricted Zhu Chengwu's space to dodge, forcing him to take the attack head-on.
"Ten thousand Buddhas are paying homage to their leader! So these countless Buddha shadows are actually rushing towards me? Do they think I am the leader of ten thousand Buddhas?"
Although the situation was critical, Zhu Chengwu, who felt the movement behind him, couldn't help but sneer at the name of the Tathagata Palm in his heart.
Although he was still smiling inside, Zhu Chengwu attached unprecedented importance to this move.
The monk Wuwo’s grasp of the battle situation and his choice of timing were really good.
The attack happened to be when Zhu Chengwu was knocked flying and injured, unable to dodge in mid-air and unable to breathe smoothly due to his injuries.
Otherwise, even the ultimate move of Wanfo Chaozong might not be able to force Zhu Chengwu to take it head-on.
At the same time, a sense in his heart told Zhu Chengwu that the power of the Wuwo Divine Monk's move was very strong, and it seemed to have exceeded the attack power of his Fiery Palm. Feeling the severe threat, Zhu Chengwu finally dared not worry about the consequences and held back.
The first time using a forbidden technique!
Moreover, he used the forbidden technique when he was injured and it was difficult for him to breathe smoothly in mid-air.
Zhu Chengwu was ultimately betrayed by his own self-confidence and arrogance!
Using forbidden techniques to increase power in such a situation could cause more serious side effects than using the same forbidden techniques under normal circumstances.
But Zhu Chengwu had no other choice.
We can't just ignore the present for the sake of the future!
Only with the present can there be a future!
And in the final analysis, this battle can be said to have been initiated by Zhu Zengwu...
As Zhu Chengwu also used forbidden techniques to increase the power, the actual shadow of the round sphere of fire behind Zhu Chengwu's head suddenly grew larger, and there seemed to be a vague shadow of a three-legged golden crow looming in the middle.
If you listen carefully, you can seem to faintly hear the cry of the Golden Crow.
Boom~~
The ultimate moves collided with countless strong and hot energies, directly crushing and igniting the grass and trees within a radius of hundreds of feet below the place where Zhu Chengwu and the Wuwo monk were fighting.
Not only the vegetation and grass, but even the huge rocks on the ground were blown away and shattered by the fighting energy of Zhu Chengwu and the monk Wuwo. At the same time, the ground in an area of hundreds of feet was compacted down by several inches.
The ground has sunk three inches!
After being amplified by forbidden techniques, Zhu Chengwu's Golden Crow Rising and the Divine Monk Wuwo's Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Lord have truly reached the ultimate master-level attack power, and even surpassed it.
"Innate Qi~"
With the help of forbidden techniques, the pale yellow circular protective gas shield that was forcibly formed outside Zhu Chengwu's body was broken by the aftermath of the collision of the two ultimate moves that were so close.
puff~
Zhu Chengwu was once again blown dozens of feet away by the energy.
However, although he was injured again, Zhu Chengwu still had his innate internal energy as a buffer.
Although it was quickly broken, Zhu Chengwu's innate energy was able to block most of the aftermath.
The monk Wuwo was not so lucky!
The monk Wuwo, who has been practicing Tathagata's Divine Power and Tathagata's Divine Palm all his life, does not know any other defensive skills.
puff~
Puff puff~~
The monk Wuwo was blown hundreds of feet away by the aftermath of his and Zhu Chengwu's ultimate moves, and countless red and black wounds were scratched all over his body by the countless flames and energy. The blood in his mouth kept gushing out.
This kind of aggressive and powerful bombardment is a considerable burden for both sides of the war.
This time, after being blown dozens of feet away, Zhu Chengwu was finally not attacked midway and landed safely.
"Arhat subdues the demon!"
But as soon as Zhu Chengwu landed, the attack of the Colorless Monk arrived.
The colorless monk was ultimately a step too slow, allowing Zhu Chengwu to land safely and breathe.
At first, the Colorless Monk thought that after several hours of fierce fighting, he finally found a chance to win.
That's why he used forbidden techniques directly!
You have to know that even if you are ready to make a decision and even if you are old, it still takes courage to perform forbidden techniques.
The monk Wuxiang and the monk Wuwo are worthy of their nearly hundred years of brotherhood.
After seeing the Colourless Divine Monk perform the forbidden technique, he instantly understood the Colourless Divine Monk's intentions and plans with just one glance, and immediately performed the same forbidden technique to follow suit.
Even though Zhu Chengwu's innate energy was stronger than the Colorless Monk could have imagined.
But in the end, it was broken by the combined efforts of the Colorless Monk and the Formless Monk.
The Earth Core Mother Goddess was destroyed, and the innate energy was destroyed...
The man was in mid-air, suffering from internal injuries, and his true energy was disrupted after his martial arts skills were broken. The selfless monk was very determined to seize the good opportunity.
He directly used the Shaolin forbidden technique and the most powerful ninth move of the Tathagata Palm - Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Lord, and attacked Zhu Chengwu from behind.
The colorless monk thought that everything was over!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chengwu was much stronger and more responsive than the Colorless Monk had imagined.
In that situation, Zhu Chengwu actually still had a trump card and was able to fight back.
The Colorless Divine Monk, who had not yet landed, was blown away by the aftermath of the collision between Zhu Chengwu's innate inner energy and the Golden Bell Cover of the Formless Divine Monk. When he saw Zhu Chengwu's response to the killing move of the Formless Divine Monk, and how he was able to forcibly use his innate inner energy to resist the aftermath at the last moment, he realized that something was wrong!
Although the defensive power of the innate qi that Zhu Chengwu forced himself to use later was far weaker than before, it was quickly broken again.
But Zhu Chengwu's performance clearly shows that Zhu Chengwu's talent and strength are even beyond the expectations of the three great monks.
If Zhu Chengwu is not completely sent away today!
The possibility of the Shaolin Temple's thousand-year-old heritage being cut off may become a reality in the near future.
Thinking of this, the colorless monk looked solemn, and directly used the Thousand-Pound Drop to force himself to the ground.
After landing, the colourless monk immediately used his lightness skill of crossing the river on a reed to head towards the direction where Zhu Chengwu was blown away.
Try to catch up with Zhu Chengwu before he lands, don't give Zhu Chengwu any chance to breathe, and kill him!
Let their plan of achieving their goal in one fell swoop quickly become a reality.
Unfortunately, the Colorless Divine Monk had not practiced any defensive martial arts, and was seriously injured by the aftermath of Zhu Chengwu's Fiery Palm and the aftermath of the collision between Zhu Chengwu and the Formless Divine Monk's ultimate moves at close range.
Moreover, the Colorless Divine Monk is old. Although he can still maintain his combat effectiveness with the help of the grandmaster's might, the decline of his body functions is inevitable. His old body can no longer support the Colorless Divine Monk to continuously use forbidden techniques to enhance his lightness skills while suffering from internal injuries.
In the end, the Colorless Monk failed to catch up with Zhu Chengwu, allowing Zhu Chengwu to land safely.
But as soon as Zhu Chengwu landed, the attack of the colorless monk arrived!
It's just a matter of time.
“A world so close yet so far away, a world so far away!”
After landing safely, facing the "Arhat Subduing Demons" of the Colorless Monk, Zhu Chengwu did not choose to resist or fight back.
Instead, he took a short breath, gained some leverage, and then directly used the highest achievement of the Qinggong technique "The World Is So Close Yet" and floated away.
As I said, the future is in Zhu Chengwu's hands.
And Zhu Chengwu has great ideals!
What Zhu Chengwu wanted this time was just to absorb the master's experience and increase his martial arts foundation, rather than fighting head-on with the three great monks Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo like a reckless man.
Zhu Chengwu felt that the "benefits" of this proactive invitation to fight were greatly reduced because he had just been forced to use a forbidden technique with serious side effects to enhance his own strength.
However, if Zhu Chengwu wants to retreat, Wu Se and the other three great monks will not allow it!
The battle has come to this point. No matter what happens next and what the price is, the three great monks, Wu Se, Wu Xiang and Wu Wo, have vowed today to send Zhu Chengwu away.
Everyone has their own plans, everyone has their own plans, everyone has their own confidence...
What the final result will be depends on who has a deeper plan and more hidden cards!
Decades ago, Dugu Sheng was surrounded and attacked. Do you really think that Dugu Sheng would not run away when facing the encirclement and suppression by the Zhu family?
It was just that Zhu's clan had hidden the information that the seven great masters were attacking together very well, and before the fight, Dugu Sheng did not know that Zhu's clan had dispatched the seven great masters.
Dugu Sheng believed that he could handle the siege of three to five masters, or even fight back, with the assistance of the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect.
By then, the Zhu clan's Grandmaster will suffer a great loss...
A new world is just around the corner.
And do you really think that before taking action, the Zhu family would have thought that besieging and killing Dugu Sheng would almost lead to the extinction of the Zhu family's master?
In the end, even the Zhao family, which only had Zhao Yuguang as a grandmaster, almost couldn't suppress it?
Do not!
In the eyes of Zhu at that time, the seven great masters, including masters like the previous Duke of Qi and Eunuch Zheng, were enough to capture Dugu Sheng and the Great Elder of the Demon Cult without any harm.
Even if there are losses, the most they suffer are injuries but not deaths.
If the Zhu family had known that it would cost such a heavy price, they would have recruited more masters to join them, even if they had to use up most of the resources in the secret vault and use up countless favors.
Everyone has their own calculations, and no one can guarantee what the final outcome will be.
Just like now!
Zhu Chengwu believed that he was strong enough and would not be successfully killed by the three great monks. This battle was just an ordinary opportunity to absorb the master's experience and increase his martial arts foundation.
The Shaolin Temple believed that the three great monks were powerful and determined, and with several years of targeted preparation, they were enough to uproot Zhu Chengwu, the "weed".
What the final result will be depends on the outcome of the final battle between Zhu Chengwu and the three great monks.
Who made the wrong calculation and who became the arrogant "clown" and "negative example"? It is still unknown!
